My Lesson

Here I go on another trip
Another meal I skip, 'cause I'm looking for something
Something that I may never find
But I've got lots of time, and it's never for nothing

'Cause one thing I won't do is lay down and die
'Cause I'm not a quitter

Some things I've gotta figure out for myself
And you just can't tell me
And maybe some distant rainy day, I'll look back
And I'll feel so silly
But 'til then I'll keep on pushing on
Until one day I'll break through
Become the man that I knew I'd be
And I will owe it all to you

Sometimes, all that it's gotta take
Is to make mistakes, and my lesson is branded
But through my trials I will find my way
And I'll never say that my lesson was handed

Although you tried your best to lend me a hand
This is still my lesson

Some things I've gotta figure out for myself
And you just can't tell me
And maybe some distant rainy day, I'll look back
And I'll feel so silly
'Til then I'll keep on pushing on
Until one day I'll break through
Become the man that I knew I'd be
And I will owe it all to you
